Manchester police had been searching for a girl who abandoned her bike after a woman approached her. The woman told police she was concerned about the girl because she appeared to be wearing pajamas while riding her bike in the cold weather.

The woman said the girl told her that her family had been the victims of a crime, and she was looking for her aunt. As the woman started calling 911, the girl left on foot, leaving her bicycle behind.

Police said the parents of the girl saw the story and recognized her bike. Police said the 10-year-old girl was scared by the woman who approached her, so she made up the story about her family and ran off.
